Asbjorn, my husband builds and repairs computers. I had him look over the above information, and he believes the first listed computer with those specifications would be the best choice. Short story....get the first computer! :D Good luck!

For gaming, the first is better. Overkill on the ram, you won't even come close to using 8 gb of ram when gaming. And with the mass amount of money you're spending you really should include an SSD. You could also save a ton of money by going with socket lga 1155 instead of 2011. An i5 3570k and a z77 chipset board would save you ALOT of money and you would get identical gaming performance.

For gaming? Looks like your closer to Designing Games.

My thoughts:

CPU overkill. From the benchmarks I've seen the Core i5 3570K is about the same speed as the Core i7 3820 (often a little faster, sometimes a little slower). It also takes a lot less power, so will be quieter and save you on the electricity bill. So unless you're going to do heavy content creation, 24/7 video conversion or folding I'd suggest you move down a notch.

I'd go with an NVIDIA card. In the current generation they beat the AMD GPU's on power and they perform very well.

You'd really do yourself a service by getting an SSD.

Also, formatting your message will really help.

I'll have to agree with the previous posters. The first system is a little better but both are an overkill. You can find better ways to spend your money without noticing a drop in performance or maybe even see an increase in performance by going for a second GPU or an SSD drive.

at a glance probably the first but there is not much in it as others have said both builds are a bit overkill in some areas, 32gb of RAM :O

Christ, if I had half of either...

No offence, but if your going to be spending that much money on something at least learn to read/understand the specs, second opinion is good, but being well informed is always better.

It is better to buy a netbook and send me either video card. I'll make so many giveaways in a group that only has you in it. Xb
